Where Does Parole Store Settings?
Where the Parole media player keeps settings and playlists on Linux.
Last updated
Parole follows Xfce config conventions with its settings file under the user config home. Window state, plugins and preferences serialize there on exit.
Playlists save as files wherever you export them rather than a managed library. That keeps the app light but means backups must include both the config and your exported lists.
Where Parole stores this, by platform
~/.config/parole/parole.conf
Main settings file; edit or delete while closed. Playlists live wherever exported, not in a library dir. Confirm the folder by listing ~/.config/parole on your install.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reset Parole settings?
Delete or rename parole.conf while Parole is closed. Defaults regenerate on next launch, which clears wedged window geometry and plugin states.
Where are Parole playlists stored?
Parole follows the Xfce config home convention; confirm by listing ~/.config/parole on your install. Playlist files save wherever you export them, not in a fixed library folder.
